This Merlot shows a lovely interplay of fruit flavours with hints of chocolate and black currant pastille,
rounded off by soft oak. With loads of ripe berry fruit, this is the ideal wine to serve with flavourful
meat dishes.

A medium bodied wine with stunning orange peel and sweet soft fruit characters. The palate with butter and creamy tones complements the bouquet, and enriches the typical Chardonnay characters to make this a stunningly good wine.

As for all our wines, the grapes for the Shiraz 2009 were hand selected to ensure optimal ripeness and flavours. The grapes were destalked and cooled down for 24 hours before fermentation. We ferment our red wines in open-tanks to give the wine the perfect balance between tannins, flavours and colour. This wine were aged for 24 months in a combination of 2/3 French oak and 1/3 American oak Barrels which leads to total elegance with a bit of dominant aromas.

The limited release InkarÃ¡ Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were carefully handpicked and selected.Â It was delicately oak matured for more complexity and extra dimension. Rich, spicy flavours and smokiness on the nose. It calls for good quality meat dishes, including steak, stews and roast. Excellent ageing potential.

This terroir was identified as being suitable for an exclusive winery, capable of producing grapes of high quality from specially selected cultivars. The concept of terroir was the main influence in choosing the right cultivars for Lord’s Wines.

Every year the vineyard battles against nature in order to produce highly concentrated, powerful wines with a flinty, mineral character true to the quartz rock in which it is grown. Monumental human effort was required to plant the vines. Implements destroyed, and, in the case of the older vineyards, dynamite deployed. A true expression of the site’s terroir, this wine will drink well now, or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years.

We are proud to say that we bottled our fruity and crisp Sauvignon Blanc this year. With only a single block to harvest from, there is no room for error. Fermented at low temperatures to ensure optimal flavours and aroma development.

In order to achieve a luscious, juicy wine, we try to have as little intervention in the cellar as possible.The result is a velvety wine with softer tannins and classical varietal characteristics. This traditional wine is unfiltered and unfined, which may deposit sediment and might require decanting.
